Hell Emperor.

Chapter 479 Xia Wei - Divine Power
"what have you done……"

The incident happened suddenly. When Xia Wei ran to the fallen Moon Rabbit, she saw that its body was wrinkled and shriveled, and it was completely unrecognizable, turning into a dehydrated corpse.

The miserable death deeply hurt Xia Wei's heart. She slowly raised her eyes, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes: "It was you...you poisoned it to death. Why did you do this?"

Faced with this accusation, the palace maid distributing the pills also seemed a little surprised:

"It's normal for a medicine rabbit to suffer from the backlash of the elixir poison when testing the elixir. It didn't cut off the spreading effect of the elixir at the moment of backlash, which made me suffer. I should punish it. Even if it didn't die, it couldn't escape severe punishment. It's good luck for it to die. But you, who are you? What does this have to do with you?"

Xia Wei narrowed her eyes, and the purple light in her eyes surged. She said, "So, you knew that the elixir might be poisonous, but you still let those moon rabbits try it. I think you have no good intentions at all!"

The palace maid looked puzzled. "These pills are the result of the palace alchemists' continuous improvement of the pill formula. No one knows how effective they are, or how much poison they contain. If we don't let the medicine rabbit try, will we let others try? If we don't figure out the efficacy of the medicine, how can we improve the pill formula?"

Hearing this, the Moon Rabbit Girl who had lost her token earlier also explained to Xia Wei:

"She's right. In the past, if you want to improve the pill formula, you have to conduct countless drug tests. The medicine rabbit is born with the ability to spread the effect of the pill, allowing the alchemist to feel some of the effect of the pill. It is the best choice for drug testing. This is why we can live in the Moonlight Land. It is our blessing. I heard that in the distant heaven, when the immortals there want to test the medicine, they directly ask the alchemy boy to test it..."

Finally understanding what was going on, Xia Wei took a deep breath and said without hesitation: "It's wrong to do this! How can you harm a living being just to test the medicine? From now on, you are not allowed to use medicine rabbits to test the pills anymore."

In Xia Wei's mind, Ye Jie's teachings were still echoing in her ears. People were only qualified to harm other living beings under one circumstance, and that was to eat their flesh. Other than that, no other reason could cover up their selfish nature of harming living beings.

The palace maid was puzzled: "If we don't use rabbits to test the pills, then what should we do with these unknown pills? How can we improve the pill formula? How can we make progress in alchemy? When will the alchemists be able to make the elixir of life? Besides, they are not people, they are just rabbits."

Xia Wei crossed her arms and said, "That's your business. Whoever made the elixir can try it themselves."

Hearing this, the maid was confused and felt that this person was unreasonable: "This is an internal matter of Guanghan Palace. Who are you? Why do you interfere in our affairs?"

Xia Wei was silent for a moment, then spoke: "I don't care where you are, as long as I don't like it, I have to take care of it!"

The maid's face darkened: "Guanghan Palace is not a place where you can do whatever you want. Please leave here, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Knowing that it was useless to say more, Xia Wei simply stopped talking. The devilish light in the depths of her bright eyes was already ready to go.

The purple light shone in the sky, but due to the unique environment on the moon's surface, its power was weakened, much weaker than when it was strongest. Its speed was no longer as fast as lightning, but rather slightly slow, as if it was stuck in a quagmire.

"It seems that you won't leave unless I teach you a lesson!"

The maid stretched out her hand, and a silver light shone from her palm. Thunderclouds rolled in, and under the interweaving of layers of lightning, a blooming white flower was woven in her palm: "Try this move, Sunflower Water Thunder!"

The lightning burst out, shattering the purple light with a devastating force. Xia Wei was also hit by the thunder, and her body flew backwards and fell heavily to the side.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up from the ground. There were still tiny arcs of electricity jumping on her body, and she felt severe pain from time to time.

Fortunately, the palace maid didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned around and went back to the palace. When Xia Wei got up and returned, she found the door in front of her was closed. No matter how she knocked on the door, no one answered.

After the setback in the battle, Xia Wei's eyes became more frustrated. She looked at her palms, not understanding why her strength had dropped so much.

"Are you OK?"

The fight that broke out scared the Moon Rabbits that were testing the drugs, and they all scattered. Only the girl who had transformed into a human remained by Xia Wei's side with concern.

"I'm fine... I'm just a little confused. The environment here is very different from the human world I was originally in. My skills can't exert their full power."

Xia Wei sighed, and then a raging fighting spirit ignited in her eyes. A temporary failure did not make her give up, but instead gave her greater motivation. She was determined to stop Yuetu's drug trial.

The Moon Rabbit Girl glanced at her and suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't think I know your name yet..."

"Xia Wei."

"My name is Yao Bai, and this name was given to me by Fairy Su'e." After learning Xia Wei's name, the Moon Rabbit Girl showed joy on her face, "Now that we know each other's names, it means that we are friends."

Xia Wei didn't answer, but stood up and walked to the side.

"Where are you going?" Yao Bai asked, a little confused.

"I'm going to find a way to restore my strength. I don't believe that I will be trapped here forever!" Xia Wei spoke slowly, with a firmness in her eyes.

Yao Bai bit his lip and asked in surprise, "You just said that you don't want to use Moon Rabbit to test drugs anymore. Why did you say that?"

Now it was Xia Wei's turn to be confused: "Isn't this obvious? Because it's wrong to do this!"

Yao Bai blinked: "But whether it is the alchemist of Guanghan Palace or Yuetu itself, they all think this is right..."

"You have lost your sense of right and wrong. How pathetic." Xia Wei said firmly, with a hint of stubbornness and even paranoia in her words. "If I say it's wrong, then it's wrong!"

"But... if we can't continue testing the medicine, the Moon Rabbits will be expelled back to the human world and will never be able to enjoy the moonlight here again..." Yao Bai said a little frustrated.

Xia Wei didn't care: "Are you willing to risk your life at any time to test the medicine just for Yuehua? You have all gained spiritual intelligence, and you are not dead things that know nothing. You should naturally understand the preciousness of life. What's wrong with returning to the human world? I came from the human world."

After listening to Xia Wei's words, Yao Bai scratched his head, feeling that he couldn't understand her. "When you were in the human world, did you help others like this?" Yao Bai suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Xia Wei nodded.

"Did they thank you?"

"Thank you... I think I have." Xia Wei said uncertainly. It seemed like she hadn't heard anyone thank her for a long time. Only her master was very grateful to her.

Yao Bai said seriously: "So, you help others not to gain their gratitude, nor for their own good, but just to put your own will above others?"

Xia Wei frowned: "Who said that? I was doing it to enforce justice. I only did righteous things!"

Yao Bai lowered his head and said uncertainly: "But, if you do this, you will be disliked by others... If all the Moon Rabbits are driven away, Yao Da will hate you, Yao Xing will also be unhappy, and everyone will become unhappy..."

Xia Wei raised her head with a haughty look: "Hate me, I don't care. It doesn't matter if you hate me, but I know that there is someone who will understand me, and that person is my master! No matter what I do, he will understand me, and he will never leave me! I don't need your thanks, as long as I have a master..."

Thinking of her master, Xia Wei's bright eyes sparkled, as if covered by a layer of mist. She raised her head and looked at the scene reflected in the sky. There, all the scenery in the world became extremely small, and the continents spanning billions of miles could be overlooked in their entirety.

Although she didn't know what her master's current situation was, Xia Wei was certain that he must be missing her and would try every means to come and rescue her. Even if they were separated by an entire universe, the entire world, it could not stop the two from meeting again.

Before that, Xia Wei was unwilling to sit and wait for death. She was not the kind of person who would stay in the cage and wait for her master to rescue her. She had to find a way to escape from the predicament on her own.

Soon, Xia Wei returned to the residence arranged for her by Taiyin Star Lord, and saw the ancient book that had fallen to the ground at a glance.

"Found it... According to what Taiyin Xingjun said, all mundane methods will be restricted on the moon. Only the true unique method can show its full power. I just hope that there is a method in this book that can help me."

Not long ago, Xia Wei rejected the kindness of Taiyin Star Lord and dropped the book on the ground. At this moment, in order to help the Moon Rabbits used for testing medicine, she picked up the book again.

After a quick look, Xia Wei looked embarrassed and then sighed deeply.

"what happened?"

Yao Bai followed and curiously leaned over. His eyes just fell on the cover of the book in Xia Wei's hand. Then his eyes were fixed on it and he couldn't move away at all: "Taishang Jiutian Xuanzhen Yulei Baojian? How...how did you get this technique?"

Xia Wei was a little concerned: "From what you said, is this technique very powerful? Can it break through the suppression of the moon's surface?"

Yao Bai's eyes were dull, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "It's more than just strong, this is the technique left by the goddess Xuannv, it is one of the highest skills in the world, and it is the only way to break through the suppression of the moon's surface, as simple as eating and drinking water..."

Xia Wei glanced at her and asked helplessly, "Can you recite the contents of this book for me?"

Yao Bai was stunned: "Recite? Why? This is a supreme skill that cannot be easily passed on to outsiders, let alone a Moon Rabbit like me..."

Xia Wei was a little embarrassed and answered truthfully: "I can't read, so I can't understand what's on it."

Hearing this, Yao Bai was a little surprised: "You mean, even though you are an immortal, you can't read at all? How is this possible?"

Xia Wei shook her head and didn't explain.

In her memory, her master always urged her to learn to read and asked her to memorize the meaning of each Chinese character, but Xia Wei had no interest in this. All her thoughts were focused on the exercises. For her, it would be better to practice a few more sets of exercises instead of spending energy learning to read.

Although the master repeatedly emphasized that many things would be inconvenient in the future if one was illiterate, Xia Wei never took it seriously. After all, the master would recite scriptures for her, so what did she have to worry about?
Until now, the master's worries have become a reality. Although Xia Wei has the magic book, she cannot understand the contents on it. She has to ask Yao Bai for help and ask her to recite for her.

Yao Bai took the book tremblingly. The delicate and cool texture of the cover alone told how precious this book was. The supreme magical skills recorded in it would be enough to drive all practitioners crazy once they were made known.

"Can I...can I really chant?"

Yao Bai's eyes were filled with worry, and he said hesitantly, "This kind of magical skill cannot be easily passed on to outsiders. If I help you recite it, you will know the content of the skill. I won't be... silenced in the future, right? I'm just a medicine rabbit, I don't want to be silenced..."

Xia Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. Just recite it. Since I can get this technique, I can keep you safe. If you can really learn something from this Thunder Control Treasure Mirror, it's your own luck. I will only be happy for you."

Hearing this, Yao Bai was relieved. With Xia Wei's permission, he no longer had any worries. When he thought about comprehending the divine power, he became excited and said joyfully:

"Great! I never thought I would have the chance to witness the splendor of the supreme divine power. I only hope that one day, I can completely get rid of my identity as a medicine rabbit like Sister Yaoyin and become a true immortal!"

Xia Wei was stunned. She seemed to have heard a familiar name from Yao Bai. She asked in surprise, "You just said... Yao Yin? What's going on?"

"Are you talking about Sister Yaoyin? She is a legend among the Moon Rabbits. She was originally just a Moon Rabbit that tested medicines, but because of her keen ability to identify elixirs, she was appreciated by the immortals in the palace. Since then, she has been blessed with great fortune and finally became the descendant of Xuannv. It is said that she can accurately tell the ingredients of any elixir she takes, without the slightest mistake. Her attainments in the art of alchemy are also among the best in the entire Guanghan Palace."

Speaking of Yao Yin, Yao Bai's words were filled with envy: "Not long ago, she seemed to have made some mistakes and was severely punished, but no matter what, she is an idol admired by the Moon Rabbits."

"Yeah……"

After hearing what Yao Bai said, Xia Wei was also surprised. She didn't expect that the usually lazy and sleepy Yao Yin Fairy was actually the Moon Rabbit. Just looking at her appearance, there was really nothing unusual about her.

Yao Bai flipped open the book. The magical skills recorded in the Imperial Thunder Treasure Mirror really made her envious. She couldn't wait to read it one by one and check the records in it:
"To comprehend the supreme divine art, one needs a considerable level of attainment and talent. I wonder if we can learn the unique method recorded in it with our understanding... Talking alone is useless. Let's get started now without further delay!"
